Some sci fi games feature hard science settings with very realistic rules for gravity, faster than light travel and high tech weapons. Other games are basically designed for space operas. These games feature artificial gravity, ship travelling as fast as they need to to get to the plot and the only limitations on weapons are […]
Dauger Island, NJ is a maximum security prison that mystically de-powers supervillains once they set foot on it… …Every day has been hell for you since Partisan defeated you and shipped you out here. A small part of you dies every time some two bit street thug beats you up for your pudding. Your thoughts […]
It is about fucking time. I’ve played D&D for quite some time. After so many years of exposure to the standard fantasy races, I was quite bored with them. It wasn’t until D&D 4E that these core races were changed up some. Previous editions had presented optional races but they suffered from both poor execution, […]

It is an action movie turned into a Savage Worlds adventure. That’s no criticism as the Fast! Furious! Fun! style of Savage Worlds fits […]

Interface Zero: San Francisco is a city book for Interface Zero by Gunmetal Games. In case you were wondering, Interface Zero is a setting that utilizes the Savage World rules. The year is 2088 and […]
It embarrasses me a little to admit that it took me three of the Savage Worlds genre companions before I realized that the same woman was presented on each cover. She is simply changed to fit the genre contained within the book. The red-headed Amazon on the cover of the Fantasy Companion is the red-headed […]
You can keep GenCon and Origins. For my money, the best two days in gaming is Fear the Con. Now, I will admit to being ridiculously biased as I’ve never been to either GenCon or Origins, so there is nothing scientific about my opinion. But I can’t imagine either of those bigger conventions beating 26 […]
